Morning All. :D
Struck it lucky again today with the weather. It is lovely out there.
I have done all I can on the trike for the moment as I am still waiting for a piece of 1" tube to turn up for the handelbar mounting.
But I am pleased with it so far..
Another treadmill session in a moment, but I am enjoying that first coffee right now.
You all have great days now, and enjoy the last of the sunshine today. It will be not so nice tomorrow.
Here is a picture of the trike (with working gear-train).

@DanClarke .
So when you steer, your feets go left and right too?
Won't your physiology limit the amount of turn you can get?
Jus finkin.. :)

Spot on! It is called a "Python-Trike" and the angled joint in the middle allows it to steer in circles that are tighter than most standard trikes (especially tadpole trikes).
My mate has had his "Python" for over 6,000 ridden miles and he out-manoeuvres me all the time. The other benefit is that you can ride hands-free as it is self centring. When you sit on it the angle of the joint makes it try and straighten up.
There will be handlebars but they are used more as placeholders to put the mirrors and the brake levers. 90% of the steering is done with your legs/hips. It is really alien to start with. I tried his trike and went all over the place, but once going straight it was really easy. So I thought I would make one too.
